Bronwen Vaughan-Evans

Bronwen Vaughan-Evans received her Masters of Arts in Fine Arts in 1995 from the University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg. She obtained her Higher Diploma in Education in 1998 from the University of South Africa.

She has participated in numerous group exhibitions both locally and internationally and since her first solo show in 2004 has had various solo shows in Durban, Johannesburg and Cape Town.

Vaughan-Evans’ work is created using a process of layering light gesso on top of darker gesso to create a controlled surface in which the dark layer sits just beneath a thin, light skin and thereby alludes to a metaphorical weight beneath the surface of things. The images reference objects and places from her immediate environment and are created by sanding / etching through the thin top layer to reveal the dark gesso beneath.

She lectures part-time at the Fine Art Department of the Durban University of Technology. Her work is included in corporate, public and private collections both locally and internationally.
